Abstract

Local government autonomy is vital for governance and grassroots development in Nigeria, yet its effectiveness remains constrained by financial dependency, political interference, and weak institutions. This study investigates the relationship between local government autonomy and economic growth, situating Nigeria’s experience within fiscal federalism and decentralization theory. Using a comparative qualitative design with descriptive trend analysis, the research draws on data from the National Bureau of Statistics, Central Bank of Nigeria, FAAC reports, and case studies of Lagos, Enugu, Ogun, and Kogi States. Findings reveal that autonomous local governments, notably in Lagos and Enugu, demonstrate stronger capacity for internally generated revenue, infrastructure provision, employment creation, and poverty reduction, while less autonomous states such as Kogi underperform due to fiscal dependency and mismanagement. Comparative evidence from India and South Africa reinforces the importance of autonomy in stimulating service delivery and accountability. Policy implications emphasize the need for constitutional reforms to abolish the state–local joint account, direct funding mechanisms, stronger accountability frameworks, and capacity-building programs. Strengthening autonomy will enable local governments to function as agents of grassroots development, foster inclusive growth, and contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s federal stability and sustainable economic transformation.

Abstract

Globalization and the development of information technology require government agencies to improve public services as a whole so that people expect satisfactory service according to their rights as citizens. This study aims to analyze the influence of the quantity of human resources on the quality of service at the Tamalanrea District Office, Makassar City. The method used is a quantitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaire distribution, observation, and documentation. The study population was 59 employees with a sample of 51 respondents based on the Krejcie and Morgan tables. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics processed with the help of SPSS and Microsoft Excel software. The findings of this study reveal that (1) the quantity of human resources is in the sufficient category, (2) the quality of service is in the good category, and (3) there is a significant influence between the quantity of human resources on the quality of service with a significance value of 0.000 with a Pearson Product Moment correlation of 0.525, which shows a moderate relationship (relative relation) between the quantity of human resources and the quality of service. The t-test results, with a magnitude of 4.315 greater than tcount > ttable 2.010, validate this finding, leading to its acceptance. The hypothesis indicates a significant influence between the quantity of human resources and the quality of service. The magnitude of the influence only reached 27.5% based on the value of the determination coefficient (R²), while the rest was influenced by other factors that were not specifically explained in this study.

Abstract

The village revenue and expenditure budget is prepared to manage village finances in a transparent and accountable manner to improve community welfare. This study aims to evaluate the management of the village revenue and expenditure budget in Corawali Village, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, from the perspective of transparency and accountability. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was obtained from village officials, members of the village consultative body, and the community through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document studies. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, presentation, and qualitative verification. The research focuses on four main aspects: planning, implementation, reporting, and accountability. The results indicate that the management of the village revenue and expenditure budget has gone quite well with the community's involvement in village deliberations and program implementation. However, participation is uneven because of a limited understanding of technical information. Reporting is carried out routinely through the Siskeudes application, although it has not been fully socialized effectively. Accountability is carried out openly through village forums and information media, but the presentation of information still needs to be simplified, and human resources a

Abstract

The performance of state civil servants is a fundamental pillar in the effective and efficient delivery of public services. In an effort to improve both employee performance and welfare, the Barru Regency Government implemented the Additional Employee Income (TPP) policy. This research aims to identify the implementation of the TPP policy in relation to improving employee performance at the Regional Civil Service and Human Resource Development Agency (BKPSDM) of Barru Regency. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out through a combination of in-depth interviews with agency leaders, direct observation of work activities and discipline, and documentation studies covering employee attendance and daily reports. The collected data was analyzed for validity using triangulation techniques. The results show that the determination of the TPP amount at the BKPSDM of Barru Regency is based on five integrated criteria: position, rank/class, educational background, level of discipline, and performance achievement. Field findings confirm that the level of employee discipline, measured by adherence to working hours and attendance at roll calls (apel), is in the very good category. Employee performance, evidenced by the timeliness and completeness of daily reports and the completion of main and additional tasks, also shows good results. In conclusion, the TPP policy at BKPSDM Barru has created a mechanism that directly links additional compensation with individual contributions. The high level of employee discipline and performance is the basis for the proportional justification of TPP provision, which serves as an incentive instrument to encourage work productivity.

Abstract

Employee performance reflects how well the goals of an agency or institution have been achieved, including aspects of quality, quantity, accuracy, work results, and level of independence. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the influence of information technology on the performance of employees in the Makassar Class I Correctional Institution. The study uses a quantitative approach with bivariate analysis. The findings of the study show that the indicators of the variables of information technology and employee performance are in a very satisfactory category. The results of the product moment correlation analysis indicate a strong relationship between the use of information technology and the level of employee performance. In addition, the results of simple linear regression strengthen these findings by showing the positive and significant influence of information technology on employee performance. Quantitatively, the use of information technology in the Makassar Class I Correctional Institution achieved a score of 90%, while employee performance achieved a score of 96%; both scores fall within the very satisfactory category. Information technology recorded a 59.1% contribution to employee performance. Thus, the results of this study offer an in-depth look at the importance of the application of information technology in improving the quality of employee performance in correctional institutions, as well as providing a strong basis for the formulation of more appropriate and strategic policies in the future. This study not only provides empirical evidence of the positive influence of information technology on employee performance but also highlights the unique context of correctional institutions as a public service environment where digitalization faces structural and cultural barriers. The results have influenced the development of ICT-based performance management in the public sector, especially in correctional administration.

Abstract

Implementation of the children's digital literacy corner program in Bontoala Village, Pallangga District, Gowa Regency. This study aims to describe the implementation of the children's digital literacy corner program in Bontoala Village, Pallangga District, Gowa Regency, and to find out the supporting and inhibiting factors of the children's digital literacy corner program in Bontoala Village, Pallangga District, Gowa Regency, with 7 informants. Observation, interview, and documentation methods were used in this data collection process. Data is analyzed through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. This study confirms that in the implementation of the children's digital literacy corner program in Bontoala Village, Pallangga District, Gowa Regency, it is seen from the indicators, namely preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, as well as audience and mentoring running "well." In the program preparation stage, namely, the suitability of the literacy corner program with the needs of children as well as the creation of media and socialization needed to support the success of the program, the implementation stage is to include digital education for children with various methods. The third is monitoring and evaluation, namely, to measure the effectiveness of the program that has been implemented to be able to know the extent to which the program's goals are achieved, and finally is audience and assistance. The program is carried out through collaboration with the village and the government but has not run optimally due to insufficient resources and limited community engagement in the activities. The supporting factors for this program include the involvement of the village government, community enthusiasm, and support from activity facilitators. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors are limited facilities and infrastructure, lack of adequate assistance, and lack of information related to the program, which hinder the program's effectiveness and outreach within the community, ultimately leading to decreased participation and engagement from community members.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of environmental politics within Australian domestic party competition through the application of Green political theory (GPT) as a normative analytical framework. It seeks to explain why a persistent divergence exists between principled ecological advocacy and pragmatic environmental policymaking despite the increasing severity of ecological crises. Focusing on the interaction between the Australian Greens and the Australian Labor Party, the study analyses how differing ethical priorities, institutional constraints, and governing responsibilities shape climate and environmental policy positions. The study employs a qualitative deductive design based on document analysis of party platforms, policy statements, parliamentary behaviour, and peer-reviewed secondary literature. Analytical interpretation is guided by core principles of green political theory, including ecological responsibility, critique of growth-oriented governance, and the ethical relationship between political institutions and their policies towards the natural environment. The findings indicate that the Australian Greens consistently articulate eccentrically grounded and normatively coherent ecological positions, while the Australian Labor Party advances environmental reforms that are incremental and strategically calibrated to institutional, economic, and electoral constraints. The interaction between the two parties produces a stable yet normatively constrained policy equilibrium in which ecological concern is acknowledged but structural transformation remains limited. The study’s contribution lies in integrating normative political theory directly into the analysis of Australian party competition, moving beyond predominantly institutional and electoral accounts to foreground ethical evaluation crisis.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly integrated into climate-health decision-making processes across the United States public sector, offering considerable capacity to model complex environmental and public health interactions while supporting resource allocation and policy planning. Despite these technological advances, the deployment of AI in this domain raises significant concerns regarding algorithmic bias, which can systematically disadvantage vulnerable populations and undermine the equity objectives of climate-health governance. The existing literature reveals a critical gap: no comprehensive policy framework has been specifically designed to govern algorithmic fairness within the climate-health nexus of American public sector decision-making. This article addresses that gap by developing an original, structured policy framework designated the Algorithmic Fairness Climate-Health Governance (AFCHG) Framework. Drawing on a systematic synthesis of peer-reviewed scholarship across AI governance, algorithmic fairness, public administration, and climate-health systems, this article employs a conceptual research design grounded in thematic analysis and policy analysis methodology. Conceptual frameworks play a critical role in emerging policy domains where empirical evidence remains fragmented, providing structured guidance that can subsequently be tested through applied research. The AFCHG Framework comprises four interdependent pillars: Policy and Legal Foundations, Governance and Accountability, Technical Bias Mitigation, and Ethics, Equity, and Inclusion. Each pillar is theorized in relation to existing scholarly evidence and grounded in the governance realities of United States public sector institutions. The article further proposes an eight-step governance flow for AI bias mitigation, supported by two summary tables that translate the framework into actionable policy guidance. The findings suggest that addressing algorithmic bias in climate-health systems requires not merely technical solutions but coordinated, multi-level governance architectures embedded within broader equity and human rights frameworks. This work contributes a theoretically rigorous and practically applicable framework for American policymakers, public administrators, and AI governance scholars.

Abstract

This study examines the paradox of legislative performance in the Regional People’s Representative Council of Teluk Bintuni Regency during the 2021–2024 period, where increasing legislative output does not necessarily reflect stronger institutional capacity or independence. This study uses a qualitative case study approach to examine legislative performance in the Regional People’s Representative Council of Teluk Bintuni Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving council members, secretariat staff, and representatives of the regional government. Data were analyzed using an interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, to identify patterns related to human resource capacity, executive dominance, and legislative performance. The findings show that legislative performance reflects a combination of increasing output and persistent structural constraints. The realization of the Regional Legislation Program demonstrates a generally rising trend, indicating improved legislative productivity. However, the majority of council members have a secondary education background, which reflects limited formal capacity in legislative functions. In addition, the executive dominates the legislative process, as indicated by the high proportion of draft regulations initiated and prepared by the executive. Institutional coordination is formally established but uneven in effectiveness, while public participation mechanisms remain limited and not consistently institutionalized. This study concludes that legislative performance is characterized by a paradox in which improvements in quantitative output are not accompanied by stronger institutional capacity or independence. These findings highlight the need to move beyond output-based assessments and to consider structural and relational factors in understanding legislative performance in decentralized governance systems.
